Council employees , probably not bad blokes but managed by a "qualified " moron .

you would laugh but its us suckers paying for it , then paying again while some greasy git in a suit gets paid a proper managers wage when he's never picked up a tool but has papers to say he knows it all

Back in the 1970's, we poured some 6'x6'x6' foundation blocks for an overhead crane rail with bolt templates provided for us. When the columns arrived, and before we unloaded, I noticed the base plates were the wrong size; so the shipment was sent back. A couple of weeks later the shipment came back, but instead of replacing the base plates, larger baseplates were just welded on, which made the columns too tall to fit under the overhead cable trays in the fuselage factory. An expensive cockup for Lockheed, but not for us as we only had the contract for foundations and erecting.

My now deceased father in law worked for Lockheed in the 70,s

It was an interesting place to work. We were one of a small group of outside contractor's doing retrofitting and remodeling of various facilities. I could tell some story's, lol.

Recently they installed signs on all the rural roads in our county with the road name on it. I came upon the crew putting up one of the signs near my home, they were using the wrong sign! I said to the foreman that's not Killard Road. He took offence to this & answered 'Yes it is, I'm a local man & know all the roads round here'
I said 'I've lived on Killard Road for over 50 years, this is definitely not Killard Road'.
But he was a real jobsworth & would not be convinced he was wrong.
He probably realised his mistake when he got to a nearby y-junction & all 3 roads meeting there are now all called 'Killard Road', the signs are there to prove it.

It's no wonder delivery drivers struggle to find rural addresses with f**kwits like that putting up the wrong signs.

Pretty much sums up the state of the UK at the moment...

Maybe one person set the studs and another was expected to bolt down...all on a tight "get the job done" timescale to keep the costs down.

Maybe it's a replacement post with different bolt holes??
